A few quick shots from the trip down to the Georgia Mountain Rally
Had a great time at the rally and spent 4 days riding for around 1200 miles most of which was above 3000 feet in the blue ridge mountains. On the way back did almost 400 of the 430 some miles of the BR Parkway and hit the highest point Sunday on my way to stay at the Alpine Inn in Little Switzerland NC. ItÔÇÖs a lovely quaint little Inn perched right on the edge of the mountains at around 3200 feet. Once I get my 400 + images processed and sorted I post a proper ride report.
For now
The highest point the Blue Ridge Motor Road 6053 ft. this is in the southern end in NC which is generally higher than the northern end.
From the Alpine Inn, a really wonderful, very relaxed little Inn with maybe 6 rooms..
This is how one usually finds the Inn Keepersbusy at work as always
The view from my room, note the flat topped mountain in the background is some 40 miles away!
The Building has settled in the front to the point that whole structure has a very noticeable slant, the doors had to be cut at an angle so they could open into the building.
This is the porch, note that the curve of the wall with the windows and slope of the tables is NOT a trick or distortion of the lens, it really IS the way you see it! (note the line of the tree in the back, ThatÔÇÖs the only true vertical line!)
My breakfast, fresh coffee and juice, a slice each of home make cranberry and a nut bead (still warm!) home made nut and granola cereal, fresh fruit topped with cottage cheese and fresh (real) butter. MMMMM
And an early AM sunrise, color enhanced, to show the sun without too much flare and show the suns disk more distinctly.
As far as IÔÇÖm concerned, itÔÇÖs a must stop overnighter on any trip along the Parkway. This was my third visit, but certainly not my last.
